We performed a comparison between Microsoft System Center, NGINX Plus, and Windows Server AppFabric based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."Step-by-step documentation that clarifies the implementation procedure."
"It can generate KPIs and management reports with monthly presentations on activities and updating the environment (success and failure)."
"We like Microsoft System Center's Operations Manager. That is primarily why we use it."
"The deployment and asset management features are the most valuable. These are the product's main features."
"The solution is easily available. That's its most valuable aspect."
"The detail in the alarms is great."
"The installation process is easy."
"System Center helps to create the basis for ITIL alignment."
"-"
"The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house."
"I think installation only took a couple of minutes — no more than 10 minutes."
"The robust software architecture allows for it to be scalable and very stable."
"I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free."
"Nginx is simple to configure, very stable in a highly utilized environment and very modular, allowing DevOps to create it's own modules for interactive use with Nginx."
"When you use NGINX, you have more options and power."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"The product's deployment phase was very easy."
"It is very usable and easy to understand. Antivirus and VPN are the main features being used now. It allows my clients to access the network from home, which was very crucial because of the pandemic."
"The most valuable feature is AppFabric's hosting solution, which is what we need for running workflows."
"Most of the documentation is online, however, there are some gaps there. The product documentation still refers back to the 2012 Server. We're pretty much in 2022. There's a ten-year gap there."
"Could be more user friendly."
"The platform performance and responsiveness need improvement. It still demands high computing resources."
"In Microsoft System Center, it is difficult to follow the steps to create dataflows at times."
"System Center hasn't updated to keep up with the industry. It needs improvements in the user interface, ease of use, and overall product functionality, particularly the cloud-monitoring features. It needs more capabilities to monitor AWS and Azure infrastructure."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The solution's dashboard needs improvement."
"Less server consumption would help, as would better, more flexible reports."
"Make modules easier to enable or disable. The beauty and ugly side of the NGINX modules is you have to know how to compile the module. For beginners or non-very technical aspirant(s) going for NGINX, they have to learn how to compile the modules."
"Only improvement needed that I would point to is scalability. With it, I mean clusterized organisation on a low level. At the moment, the best alternative is RHEL HA."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The biggest room for improvement would be to allow NGINX Core machines to cluster for memory zones in some way with a plug and play module. "
"I would like the configuration process to be more simplified."
"I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface."
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"Its price and licensing policy can be improved. It could be a little cheaper. Licensing is sometimes confusing. There are so many different options. It is difficult to find out what to buy or what to choose for my necessity."
"Microsoft will stop supporting the product next year, and we can't run unsupported programs in our systems."
"The product is unable to connect with different cloud services."
